Added engraved title page with title: De monstrorum natura, caussis, et differentiis libri duo
The added engraved title page is signed "I. Bap. Bisson" and "MD sculps." Many other illustrations are signed "M.D.F." One on page 133 is apparently signed "M.D.F. in Padua."
Gathering pi⁴ appears to be a cancel. It has no signatures, in contrast to the register on leaf 2N4 verso, which indicates the first gathering is signed by the maltese cross (the first of two gatherings with that signature). [Maltese cross]1 and 4 may also be cancels
